Hand-made coffee

(by Wen / Yangcheng Evening News reporter Liang Xuhua / Terry)

As a way to fully show the flavor of coffee beans and brewing technology, hand-brewed coffee is widely popular in the coffee industry. It takes years of practice to acquire eye-pleasing hand punching skills, and the whole process must be calm and calm. Of course, a handy coffee pot is essential.

Although the structure and function of the kettle are more or less the same, they also have their own advantages, depending on which bite you prefer.

The first hand-made coffee pot that appeared in the siphon pot.

Siphon pot can be said to be the earliest hand coffee pot in Guangzhou. It consists of upper pot, lower pot, bracket, lid, mixing rod, filter cloth and alcohol lamp.

The siphon pot uses water to heat and produce water vapor. According to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the hot water of the lower sphere is pushed to the upper pot to infiltrate the coffee powder. After the lower pot cools, the water of the upper pot is sucked back and the coffee solution is extracted. Brewing techniques:

When using a siphon pot, stir the coffee evenly so that the coffee can be fully extracted, and the stirring stick should avoid touching the filter cloth at the bottom of the pot, so as not to release too much flavor of the filter cloth. After the extraction is completed, when the upper pot of coffee begins to flow into the next pot, you can wrap the lower pot with a cold towel to cool down, so as to prevent the coffee from burning and smelling after the second heating.

Pay attention to the amount of water, heat, the amount and thickness of coffee powder, and the timing should be accurate. When you find that the coffee reflux is not smooth, you should change the filter cloth in time. At the same time, it is recommended to replace the alcohol lamp with a gas furnace or a light wave furnace.

The most practical starting instrument of French pressure kettle

If you want to choose the most practical coffee starter, the French kettle must be among the top three, although it cannot be at the top. Its ease of control over time and the convenience of observation are unmatched by other brewing instruments.

The principle of brewing coffee in a pressure pot: the essence of coffee is released by stewing in full contact with coffee powder.

Brewing techniques:

Any kind of coffee is suitable for the French press, because it is soaked in hot water close to 100 degrees Celsius, so it can best show the original flavor of the coffee.

The method of use is very simple: put the freshly ground coffee powder into the pot, pour the right amount of hot water according to the different coffee powder, let it stand for three or four minutes, quickly stir with a coffee spoon, float the coffee oil on the surface, cover the upper cover and rest for about 30 seconds, press the upper cover with one hand, press down the pressure rod slowly and steadily with the other hand, and pour the coffee into the warm coffee cup.

It is suitable for coffee powder with coarse particles, because hot water is in direct contact with coffee powder, and it is easy to extract too much if it is too fine. Be sure to use fresh coffee powder, because it is not high-pressure extraction, old coffee powder is easy to appear sour and bitter taste.

Mocha pot

The choice of heavy taste

If you like coffee with a strong taste like Espresso, then the expert will prefer the mocha pot.

Brewing techniques:

The mocha pot has a two-layer structure, and when the water in the lower part is boiled, it is sprayed into the upper half of the pot through a mesh filter containing coffee powder. Although hot water can be injected into finely ground coffee powder without air pressure, this is not strictly a concentrated extraction, but rather close to dripping, but the coffee made by the mocha pot still has the concentration and flavor of Italian coffee Espresso.

The material of the mocha pot directly affects the safety of use. Generally, there are two kinds of materials for water storage containers: edible aluminum and stainless steel, so it is recommended to choose stainless steel. In addition, we should pay attention to the tightness, one is the tightness between the upper seat and the lower seat, and the other is the tightness of the pressure relief valve to see whether there is water seepage.

Philharmonic kettle

Travel is the most convenient.

The Philharmonic press caused strong repercussions as soon as it was put on the market in 2005, and its cleaning and maintenance methods are surprisingly simple. The cleaning time after use is only a few seconds, so it is suitable to be used as a coffee brewing apparatus for going out.

Brewing techniques:

Its structure is similar to a syringe. When in use, put ground coffee and hot water in its "syringe", then press the putter, and the coffee will flow into the container through the filter paper. You can cook different flavors of coffee by changing the size and pressing speed of the coffee grinding particles.

This kind of coffee pot has a lot of fake goods on the market, and its material is unknown, so you should pay attention to it when you buy it.

Hand punch pot

A favorite of coffee lovers

At present, there are two popular ways to brew individual coffee: siphon pot and hand filter pot, and the latter is more popular with coffee lovers.

Hand-punching pots range from flower teapots and glass pots at home to ordinary-caliber ones and even to all kinds of thin-mouthed pots. Equipment and cooking methods are not only ever-changing, many schools have their own considerations and advantages.

Brewing techniques:

The principle and equipment is very simple, just a filter cup, a hand pot, a filter paper, a cup can make a good cup of coffee. It is recommended to start water injection from the midpoint, and then draw concentric circles in one direction to the periphery, but do not flush onto the filter paper, and then draw concentric circles until the center is so repeated. The current should be stable, the water injection can be divided into two or three times, and the extraction is over. Finish the water injection and remove the filter cup. Pour the coffee from the sharing pot into a warm coffee cup and you can enjoy a cup of warm coffee.

Different coffee beans need different water temperature and need to be adjusted and tested by themselves.
